Wind turbine vessel stranded during search for missing man from the "Freya"

The "Spirit of Hoton" ran aground during the search for a crew member of the "Freya" on the Humber who remained missing after going overboard, on Sep 4, 2014. 25 commercial boats from the Grimsby area were involved in the search for the man since the previous evening. The "Spirit Of Hoton" got stuck on a sandbank off Cleethorpes' North Promenade during the search. It belonged to the fleet of Humber and Cleethorpes RNLI lifeboats, a rescue helicopter from RAF Leconfield and 25 commercial vessels from the Grimsby area, which volunteered to help with the search. Cleethorpes RNLI decided that the crew of four of the the E.on boat could stay on board off the beach near Wonderland Market over night. The vessel was freed again when the tide came back in at about 1.30 p.m. Report with photo: http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Search-crewman-fell-Humber-near-Grimsby-called/story-22881758-detail/story.html#3gUtu48UWPmjzXA5.99
